I know I'd like to see a few changed or avatars completely removed.

These gotta go:

Grab The Chicken Levi

5600 - some newb with the grotesque fat chick.

The user with the K-2 guy needs a shirt, he's half naked.


This is a forum in which family member of all ages catch a glimpse and our own bosses and co-workers glance at. What are we trying to portray here? Take your filthy avatars to another less scrupulous board.

More to examples to follow.

What's wrong with Grab the Chickens Levi's avatar?

Just because you don't have a job and sit at home looking at porn and dave's esl all day doesn't mean the rest of us wouldn't like to read freely without worrying about our boss or co-workers seeing the screen. It is called respect, something your parents obviously never taught you.

p.s. I don't have a problem with yours but 5600's does need to be changed.

I agree with sportsguy35.

5600's avatar is out of line.


To the OP: Did you report to the mods (the little red exclamation point up in the right hand corner)?

Just use opera. Right click anywhere on the page, go to block content click on any images you want to block and then hit done. If you set up synchronising then you can block images from home, and they will be blocked on your work machine as well (same as your bookmarks and most of your other settings.

I don't like the new skin but it easy to change under tools

I can see why 5600's needs to go, but the rest? There's been far more racy avatars around here, for far longer, and you've been on this board long enough to know that

Anyone like/dislike Traz's (sp?) burning crotch?


Peppermint, yours is okay. Not too racy at all. Smile

I think surfing messageboards while at work is more questionable than the avatars on said messageboards.

If you want to portray professionalism, don't read messageboards at work. Period.

I agree. Some are utterly tasteless.

I like many, but the one with the protester getting, in all likelihood, killed? Low class.

5600's avatar is just some small picture of a band performing live that you can barely see, what's the problem?
